Bit of an experiment today, as I don't usually like to chase, but it worked out pretty well. My bowlers did a great job on an uneven wicket and after a couple of early wickets, the youth of Thorpe and experience of Gardiner saw us home without any further setbacks.

Only a bunch of convicts having been beaten 3-0 and gone 9 tests without a win and won just 1 in 11 against England could go into the home series saying they will win. England will win in Australia again this winter as they are a better side which they have shown this summer. 3-0 doesn't lie girls.

we host reverse sweepers next week, the side who won my division last season. i always felt that we had the better team, and i think on paper we should be able to topple them next monday. then again on paper, most of us predicted them to relegate, not auto-promote, last season.

i was planning on using a slow pitch against napier during saturday's league game, but i don't think this will work out because i want to use a flat pitch against sweepers. is it possible to shift pich conditions two levels in two days? somehow i don't think that it would work out. perhaps i should go with a dusty pitch instead. anyone got any ideas? there is much to ponder in the next few days

Hopefully have a couple primary pops soon. Interesting to note that even is my string of losses pretty much all my main players' form is superb or strong. Maybe they are actually playing above their ability.

The man, the mountain, the Mathews. The greatest all rounder since Keith Miller. (Y)

Mine isnt too bad, though Hiller is starting to piss me off, and Sicelo went down 2 levels this week.
